Welcome to Penn Law School!
All 1Ls, LLMs, and transfer students should receive their Bloomberg Law, Westlaw, and Lexis Advance account information in an email from Biddle Law Library.* In addition to these databases, Biddle encourages students to make use of a variety of library services!
Ask Us Questions:
Our Librarians are here to answer any and all questions you may have about legal research and library services. You may find us at the reference desk on the main floor of the library or in our offices. You may also submit questions via an email form or live chat email questions or ask them via the Biddle’s Ask a Librarian page.
Use Library Resources:
Students may check out most print materials at the circulation desk, using their Penn Law ID cards. The circulation desk is also where students may find materials that have been placed on course reserve. To search for course materials, use LOLA, the library’s catalog (just choose “Course” from the drop down menu).
Students may also take advantage of the large number of electronic resources available through the library. For more information on the resources available and how to access them, both on and off-campus, check out the Electronic Resources guide. Or check out the QUICKLINKS, in the bottom left of the library homepage –this is also where you can find a link to Past Exams!
